Twins (Ober) vs Royals (Marsh): 9/7/24, 6:15pm

[David HK]

For God's sake.

83 pitches, 15 in a row =  Sit him down.  Thanks, Rocco.  This 💩show is entirely on you.

Thanks, Duran, for the crappy job you did.  Thanks Royce, for being Minnesota nice when you should have plowed that guy over.  JfC, you're a huge guy, use your size.

My point was "Mr Twins Fan" should reserve talk like that to a person's face. I'm guessing he, "Mr Twins Fan" would decline that option.

So you demonstrate by repeating it?

[BiggestRoccoFan]

No was 0 reason for Duran to be in the game at all. Leave your starter in who was on cruise control.

[Patzky]

Awesome. 

[Jocko87]

Lewis could have very easily gotten an interference call on the roller to Lee.  That's his ball.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Well, we just gift wrapped that win for KC.

I am so disgusted with this Minnesota clown show I could spit nails.

[Parfigliano]

This is perfect proof of Rocko's decisions putting TC in a position to lose.  Ober was at 83 pitches and retired 15 straight while giving up 1 hit.

Duran not being able to get 6-7-8-9 out being Rocco's fault is why I keep coming back here, never ending pit of hilarious takes!

AGAIN------We are blaming Rocco for taking Ober out with 83 pitches and 1 hit allowed about to face the bottom of their order.,  AND THATS THE ONLY  ISSUE

I just shake my head and hope the twins don’t make the playoffs because I want the pain to stop.

What if they get into the Postseason?

[exeoud]

Dumb players, dumb manager, this whole organization is a clown show.

It is going to cost them the game!! 

The bigger question is why you are letting Rocco off the hook.

Then Rocco keeps his job.

He has to go.

This is so Rocco. 

So much over thinking and never watching the actual play on the field. It’s driving me nuts 

[Aggies7]

I’m struggling with the reasoning for putting Duran in over Jax. Duran is still the closer as far as I know. Why would you leapfrog your setup man to have your closer face the bottom of the order?

Relievers have always done better when they have defined roles. If Jax is better for the top of the order then he should get the 9th going forward

[USAFChief]

Some have tied themselves to the position that Rocco is great. 

And they ain't coming off that position come hell or high water.

FWIW on the TV broadcast they reported that the Twins didn't want Duran to face Witt in the 9th.

But Duran IS the closer, that is his job. Way to build confidence, tell the closer he's not good enough.

Or, maybe Ober should have pitched the 8th and Jax the 9th.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

This team won't even make the playoffs. And a big reason why is Rocco. But yeah, defend him.

Blaming Rocco for Duran's inability to do his job is something...

Are you related to Rocco?  Your incessant defense of his moronic moves is something.....

ANALYTICS......ANALYTICS.....ANALYTICS.....that's all we hear about....

The ANALYTICS says Duran's ERA and every other statistic is terrible in non-save situations.  But Roc-Head has to get cute and bring him in the 8th.  

Give me the ol'  "thumbs down" because that's what you do.....

Here....let me help you 👎

The fact you come on here strictly to troll people and add zero to any baseball conversation amuses me.  Go away.

I give up on here.

It's not even worth the energy.

My thoughts exactly, especially the clown show part.

I'd love to hear Rocco's lame excuse for this one.  On second thought, maybe I don't.

Ken Rosenthal reported that the Twins didn't want Duran to face Witt in the 9th.

Lewis has a low baseball IQ. Lee should have ate it
